IN the same week that I read in the Evening News that the bus passes in Worcester are going to double in price, we see that First Bus are cutting out more services.

Like everything to do with the relationship between Local Government and Private Enterprise we are paying more and more for less and less.

On the one hand we have rapacious private enterprise ripping us off and on the other we have our local politicians wringing their hands saying they have not got enough money to support these services. No wonder more and more people do not bother to vote.

TERRY JAMES,

Drakes Broughton.
